(Isn't it amazing that the reflections on the caps and refractions in the glass are identical on these two bottles? That's quality control!)

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 22:20:00 GMTHas anyone ever used Parker's Superchrome? I know the warnings, know that Parker withdrew it about 1956, and remember Richard Binder's comment: "If you try it in a gold-nibbed dip-pen, your pen will lead an exciting, but short, life".

A Parker advertisement says that Superchrome is three-to-ten times more saturated that ordinary inks, that it dries quickly and lasts forever. And it has Solv-X. Parker warns "do not use Superchrpme in anything but a Parker 51".

OK. I have about two dozen P-51s, and Superchrome/Parker 51 Ink was sold from about 1945 until 1956. It must have worked at least a little...certainly did not burn up a diaphragm or aerometric filling system, or nib and feed, etc.

I didn't see a description of how the ink actually looked. Years ago, I received a couple of bottles with a P-51 Special, but threw the ink away. Has anyone tried it?

I have a lot of greens and many shades of green.

The wad inside the cap works like a saturated sponge rather than a gasket, causing ink to run down the sides of the bottle as the cap is unscrewed. The bottle is not full. Is anyone else enjoying this feature? I only have the one new bottle, so I only have old-style bottles and caps to compare. I plan to decant.

Mon, 05 Feb 2018 16:27:29 GMTInteresting to see how each ink behaved when subjected to a light water wash, using a fairly dry fine watercolour brush. I'd say the least water resistant is the Diamine Woodland Green; it lost a lot of colour. Most water resistant is Tsutaya Root (made by Sailor). Krishna Ghat Green and Diamine Oxford Blue also held up quite well.

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:31:03 GMTSo I'm filling about 15 pens with a variety of inks when I notice my Private Reserve Naples Blue has about a third of what I expected to remain in that bottle. It must have been a year since I last used it. The lid allowed evaporation. I thought about adding some distilled water, but I'll see how it writes (as is) in my Sheaffer Balance II with stub nib.

I do have some bottles of ink but I have three times as many samples. I love trying new inks and colors. If I like something it goes on to a wish list and I buy inks from the list every so often.
